The signature move of a 'Marites' (gossiper). They take a simple story and **baliktarin** the facts until the hero becomes the villain. It's also what you do to your pillow at 2 AM to find the cold side for better sleep. One is for drama, the other is for comfort.
ROOT MEANING: inverted; upside down; inside out
Often used in contexts of twisting facts or stories. Can also be spelled 'baligtarin'.
